I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

The immortals are the retinue of the Rock King Emperor, just as the Hundred Demons are the retinue of the Thunder General.

Such a celestial being who suddenly appears in Inazuma, on the battlefield where two armies are at war, could directly represent the Rock King Emperor's attitude!

Once he verifies his identity, both sides will immediately cease hostilities and will not engage in further fighting until he leaves the battlefield.

This is reverence for Liyue, the center of the continent, and even more so for the demon god "Morax" who swept across the land.

If not handled carefully, it could escalate into an irreparable diplomatic incident.

A bead of cold sweat silently trickled down Kujo Masahito's forehead. If he hadn't misheard, the immortal who called himself Sun Xiaochuan had said that they had been attacked by Oser.

In the war between demon gods, the vortex demon god Oser, who dominated the vast ocean, had few followers, but his power far surpassed that of the sea god Orobas.

But even such a powerful and formidable demon god was suppressed at the bottom of the sea by the Rock King Emperor throwing down his spear, along with a group of other rebellious demon gods.

The Rock King Emperor was not incapable of killing Oser, but due to the lingering resentment of the Demon God, he forcibly suppressed and wore him down for thousands of years.

Although Kujo Masahito, as a subject of Inazuma Narukami, had an almost fanatical and blind faith in Raiden-shogun's unparalleled, unstoppable strike, he was no match for the Rock Spear and Heavenly Star of the neighboring Iwa-o-Tai...

"As expected, Mondstadt's Anemo is easier to handle. If he stirs up a storm, even the Thunder God can cut him in half with a single stroke."

Kujo Masahito shook off the thought that suddenly popped into his head and saw Li Lin and his group walking towards him with an air of indifference. To be precise, only Li Lin walked like that.

When Master Li walked up to Kujo Masahito, looked at the surrounding terrain, and suddenly burst into laughter for no apparent reason.

Kujo Masahito was completely bewildered by the sudden laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

Li Lin suppressed his laughter and pointed towards the opposite bank: "I'm not laughing at anyone else, but at Coral Palace's lack of strategy and General Wulang's lack of wisdom. If I were Orobas, what would happen if I first laid an ambush on this side of the Wuxiang Blade Gorge? Hahahaha—"

233 Actually, there aren't 600,000 words.

Li Lin's sudden outburst put Kujo Masahito on high alert, prompting the shogunate army, which had not yet fully retreated, to conduct a thorough search several times.

But there was no sign of an ambush.

Ultimately, the Musou-no-Kage area, as the central area where the divine and lightning elements were most concentrated, was a place that everyone hated. Both the Shogunate army and the Coral Palace's resistance forces wished they could stay far away from Musou-no-Kage.

"So what you said before was..." Wanye looked at Kujo Masahito, who was sweating profusely not far away, and quietly asked Li Lin.

Li Lin was throwing punches at the air when he heard Maple Plains Man-yo's question and paused slightly: "Of course I just said it offhand. Do you really think Coral Palace Heart Sea would send a suicide squad to ambush here?"

Before Kaedehara Manyo could answer, Li Lin said matter-of-factly, "It's just an ornamental fish, I feel it's not as good as Klee... fried fish."

“That’s not how you say it.” Teppei, who had been listening nearby, retorted with a throbbing vein on his forehead, “Lord Coral’s strategy was undoubtedly brilliant. If it weren’t for Lord Coral’s brilliant planning, how could our Coral Palace army have stood against the Shogunate army with such limited strength?”

"You're mistaken," Li Lin said with a grin. "And you don't really think you've been able to hold out for so long because the army on Haiqi Island can take on ten men each, do you?"

"Isn't that right?!" Zheping glared, feeling a bit like beating Li Lin up.

Li Lin hid behind Wan Ye with a sly smile, causing Zhe Ping to unconsciously clench his fists.

Fortunately, Masahito Kujo returned in time.

He did not find the ambush on Umijima Island. The shogunate army began to withdraw from Musou-no-Kage in batches, but left a small number of soldiers behind to set up the negotiation venue and to keep an eye on Kaedehara Manyo and Teppei.

Kujo Masahito approached Kaedehara Manyo, his gaze first lingering on the large saddlebag at his waist, then moving up to the face that was almost identical to the wanted poster.

"I hope you will take care of yourself... Although I don't know what you rely on to dare to return to Inazuma's land, I will not show any mercy if you do anything unusual."

“I won’t show any mercy.” Li Lin said sarcastically from the side, repeating the same thing over and over.

Zheping was shocked to discover that Li Lin hadn't come to provoke him on purpose; this rather aggressive person would argue with anyone he met.

Kujo Masahiro pretended not to hear.

"Don't worry." Kaedehara Manyo smiled as if he had nothing to worry about. He patted the famous sword at his waist. "I respect the martial prowess of the Uchimizu Shogun, which is why I took this sword. Believe it or not, this famous sword is not anything of great value to me."

If he didn't respect Kotaro Uchimizu's loyalty to the shogunate and the Raiden Shogun, he could have left the sword on the ship and let it sink with Kotaro Uchimizu.

"I hope so." Kujo Masahito snorted coldly, saying nothing more, because the people from Umijima had already arrived.

The opening of the Musou-no-Kage Strait into a wider strait has effectively divided Hachi-Yun Island in two again, which is not good news for the Coral Palace army on Umi-no-Kage Island.

Their plan to cross the Musou-no-Kage Gorge and take control of Hachi-Yun Island was virtually impossible to hide from the eyes of the Tengu General of the Kujo clan.

Thinking of that general who was clearly a shadowy tengu of the mountain, yet bore the name of the Kujo family just like himself and had the right to use the Kujo family crest, even the proud Kujo Masahito had to admit defeat.

Perhaps it is precisely because of such a person that one can obtain the extraordinary divine eye and gain the general's recognition.

Kujo Masahito felt only pride, not jealousy.

The warships of Umijima were more slender than those of the Shogunate army. Their sails were plain white, with light blue water ripples, making them look like surging waves from a distance.

"Hmph, a defeated opponent," Kujo Masahito said in a voice only he could hear.

Inatsumi people usually grow up listening to stories of the Raiden General personally leading his troops into battle, and among those legendary stories of the Raiden General, the conquest of the great serpent Orobas and the suppression of the rebels on the island of Umigi are important parts.

Legend has it that a venomous serpent from the dark outer sea, which dwells on Umijima Island, invaded eastward because it coveted the rich and fertile land of Narukami. The venom that flowed in its path turned the fertile land into barren salt soil, and the people of Narukami who lived on it were cruelly poisoned by the barbarians of Umijima Island.

In that unprecedented war, the serpent god Orobas devoured the Thunder General's beloved general, and turned his shadow towards Sasa Yuri, the great clan leader of the Mountain Tengu.

Her twin priestesses summoned ocean tides and a blind whale, along with a thousand sea creatures.

In front of Orobas, the "Evil King" from the Narukami legend, also known as the "King of Higashiyama," a symbol of bravery and skill in battle on Umijima Island, was fully armed and determined to be the first to charge forward.

General Raiden, enraged by Sasa Yuri's death, cleaved the sky and the giant serpent in two with a single, unthinkable strike. Even after severing Orobas's body, the blade continued to extend forward until it nearly split Hachiyū Island in two.

The aftershocks alone severed the King of Dongshan.

Even mortals who are granted the power of the demon god's servants are still mortals, insignificant before the terrifying power of the gods.

The eldest of the twin priestesses was ambushed and killed by Sasa Yuri's subordinates. Her body was taken away by the shogunate army, and her head was displayed to the public, spreading throughout the land.

The younger of the twin priestesses is missing, perhaps having fallen into the deep sea and died while severely injured.

Thinking about the magnificent story of the Raiden General, Kujo Masahito couldn't help but straighten his back, as if the predicament of the shogunate army lacking food and equipment due to the constant attacks on supply lines by the Sangokushima rebels had disappeared.

Before us lies a magnificent scene of everything flourishing and brimming with life.

At this moment, the slender warships of Haizhi Island had stopped not far away. After the long ladders and ropes were secured, the vanguard troops were the first to land.

"Eleven, twelve... including those left behind, there were actually less than fifty people, which is less than the number of the shogunate troops left behind."

Kujo Masahito shook his head: "I must say, although there was an agreement beforehand, the demeanor of Admiral Goro of Umijima is truly admirable. Although we are on the battlefield, I admire Admiral Goro's bravery."

"Hahaha, I am truly unworthy of such praise from Shogun Kujō Masahiro."

Walking in from the other end of the large, open tents on both sides was General Goro, the mainstay of Haiji Island, the de facto leader of the resistance, and revered as the "pointed-eared, ever-victorious general."

General Goro was not particularly tall. He had a head of fluffy brown hair, a pair of pointed animal ears on his head, and fair skin. Underneath his military uniform from Umijima, a fluffy tail stood upright, giving him a lively appearance.

The meeting was undoubtedly a great success, if we ignore Li Lin.

234 But it's really coming soon, you'll see for yourselves!

"I'm shocked, you guys can actually sit down and negotiate?" Master Li, true to form, fanned the flames from the side, pointing at Kujo Masahito, "If you hadn't smashed the cup as a signal, and five hundred axemen had rushed out from both sides and chopped Goro into mincemeat, I wouldn't have been so impressed with you."

After speaking of Kujo Masahito, Li Lin pointed at Goro with a mocking expression: "Stop thinking about your stupid plan all day long. If you had laid an ambush on the other side beforehand and launched a surprise attack to surround the shogunate army, then even if the shogunate was not completely wiped out, it would have suffered heavy losses."

Goro and Kujo Masahito looked at each other, the key point being that they realized Li Lin was right.

Kujo Masahito had even considered this idea before, but he was provoked by Teppei's words, and due to his suspicious nature, he was unable to make adequate preparations due to the short time available.

As for Goro, the resistance forces on Umijima Island were almost entirely disciplined, and under such circumstances, he was even more aware of his own situation.

If a small team were to sneak up to the shore, climb rocks, and ambush them, they could potentially capture Kujo Masahito.

"And who are you...?" Goro asked tentatively, not daring to be negligent.

"Inazuma Emperor Sun Xiaochuan."

Goro thought about it carefully and realized that he had never heard of the title "Emperor Inazuma" before.

Kujo Masahito sensed something was amiss, but with Goro right in front of him, he wouldn't show his reaction on his face.

“Mr. Sun, as a member of the Liyue Asuras, you should maintain your composure,” Kujo Masahito’s page said, observing Li Lin’s expression and offering his advice.

"Then you are truly extraordinary, ah, that is truly the annihilation of illusions. No thoughts or desires in war, no thoughts or desires in negotiation, are you a person with a pure heart? Do you only feel eternity when you keep smiling at the divine cherry tree?"

Li Lin opened his mouth and spat.

"Damn you, General Raiden! That green-headed dwarf is burdened with karma, wearing a mask of pain—is that what it means to be without thought or desire? Zhongli ate and dashed, then asked Hu Tao to pay the bill—is that what it means to be without thought or desire? In this kind of situation, you expect me to maintain my composure? I might as well go to Narukami Shrine and laugh at Raiden, then go back and worship Isshin no Sodo. You, without thought or desire, are like a stragglers."

Li Lin's furious rebuke, as fierce as a storm, sent chills down the spines of onlookers, and the nuances of his choice of words were even more chilling upon closer examination.

Kujo Masahito felt that he knew even less than Li Lin.

Meanwhile, Wulang, who was watching from the sidelines, was already feeling a bit numb. If the timing weren't so bad, he would have loved to open the several brocade pouches that Coral Palace had given him to see if there were any solutions for dealing with this special situation.

The problem is that even the secrets of the Coral Palace and the Heart Sea don't teach people how to deal with mental illness.

Kujo Masahito pulled aside the page who had been numb by Li Lin's rant and personally introduced him to Li Lin.

"This is a hermit from Liyue; you can think of him as a member of the Geo Archon's retinue." Kujo Masahito emphasized the latter part of the sentence.

Li Lin thought to himself, "I'm still the Rock King Emperor, but I understand that these people aren't good enough to see the true beauty, so it's understandable."

Although Goro doesn't have any specific feelings for Liyue, Haiji Island has always maintained contact with Captain Hokuto of Liyue.

After all, he was the only great pirate representing Liyue who dared to traverse the Inazuma Thunderstorm.

The people of Haiqi Island even compared her to the King of Dongshan, believing that her past feat of destroying Haishan was enough to make her comparable to a legendary warrior.
